I am curious about the speed energy in term of blue whales or African elephants!

Am I the only one wondering what the equivalent speed would be to achieve that momentum for an unladen swallow?

I'm just waiting for the required 15 minutes before I can head home - and I'll be back in around 12 weeks for the second dose.
No problems so far, except for the bloodlust and the howling at the moon. I'm pretty sure I had the fangs and fur before, didn't I?

I don't know which jab you had, but I had my second Pfizer a couple of weeks ago. I had no side effects from the first jab, but after the second one I kept feeling cold, even in a room at 21-23°C. It is just wearing off now.

I slept for 7 days straight after my first Pfizer shot on 3/14 (had to take 2 days off from work). Then, like a light switch, I was fine; not tired anymore. weird. Only side effect.
I get my 2nd vaccine shot next Saturday.

The two of us both had both Pfizer shots. Negligible side effects. Just a somewhat sore shoulder the second day, which meant I couldn't sleep on that side for one night.
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

Same here with my wife & I. My daughters didn't even have pain at the site of the injection.

Mine gave me fairly bad flu symptoms the evening I got it, lasting until about 3pm the following day.

Just wait until that chip they injected gets its first Windows update; that'll knock you out. 
[I was fine for 36 hours after my Pfizer jab; then spent 24 hours feeling like I had flu; then was fine again.]

Now I know what to expect ... and it's comforting somehow, but when - no idea yet ...

Had my second (Astra) shot, just over a week ago. After the first, I had one night of shivering and a couple of days feeling tired. I had virtually no reaction after the 2nd jab. Just a bit tired on the day - which could just be down to stress, as I'm sh!t scared of needles.

This morning I am using my laptop -- I use it on weekends.
It had an update so I said, "update and restart".
Didn't think much about it.
Everything was working fine.
I used the computer for a few hours.
I went out to do some yard work and returned to my laptop.
The keyboard no longer worked. The fingerprint scanner no longer worked. The mouse did work though. Hmmm...?? 
I finally got it to recognize the keyboard and noticed that the laptop had restarted again.
I couldn't figure out why -- checked event logs and saw nothing. Fingerprint scanner still didn't work.
I checked to see if there was another update. There was only the one that I had ran earlier so I decided to check out what the update was for:
KB4589212: Intel microcode updates for Windows 10, version 2004 and 20H2, and Windows Server, version 2004 and 20H2[^]
OY!! I looked down through it. It's for INTEL CPUs and my system runs an AMD RYZEN 7.
Why would they run that update on my system? I really don't understand the point.
Hey, I'm a dev. I know...It's just (mostly) easier to be lazy.

Because Redmond hates you specifically, so they thought they would yank your chain?

I knew I was special. It's just special in a different way than others.

Redmond doesn't do discrimination or favoritism, they hate everyone equally (although some people are more equal than others)!

Probably because Microsoft fired nearly the entire QA team a couple years ago and tore down the testing environment. It relies almost exclusively on telemetry for feedback on the impacts of various hardware on the code.
So, yeah. Release casually tested code, wait for something to break, get the telemetry, go fix any issues with a blindfold on (because you only have telemetry to work with), casually test, release new patch.... to fix the patch. Rinse and repeat.
Instead of testing on varied hardware ahead of time, scrap all that, and shoot crappy reputation for poorly implemented features in the face and make it even more crappy with poorly implemented features and a heaping side of really buggy code!

Wow, I didn't know that. But, it makes sense in relation to all the challenges they are having now.

This is very interesting too, because I remember when the telemetry stuff just started taking over and doing a lot of i/o. It may be related to what we're seeing my other recent post (SSD wear level and read/writes)[^] -- related to a lot of reads/writes going on.
Very interesting. Thanks for chiming in on this.
